It’s easy to put our focus on our trials and our challenges. It’s easy to get caught up in the situation and lose track of God’s greatness. But when you praise the Lord during your battle, it becomes an invitation for Him to intervene. Your praise will ignite and invite God!

Walking in the Spirit Podcast Carlos Rivera Episode 83: Reevaluate Your Goals March 24, 2023   Reevaluate your goals and your status; identify the folks who are advancing you or hindering what God has put in your heart. Don’t expect a 3x5 relationship to hold your 16x20 dream. 

Overscheduling yourself can wreak havoc on your health and relationships. Even Jesus stepped away from the demands of His earthly ministry to rest and restore in the presence of the Father. Taking needed downtime is not a luxury or laziness; rest is necessary to being efficient and effective and avoid burnout.  

When was the last time you tried something new? Carlos Rivera encourages you to go out of your way to expose yourself to new things and it will totally change the way you live. Don’t believe it? Try at least one new thing every single day for a month and see what happens. It’s a challenge we encourage you to take. Continue to acquire knowledge and ask God for the wisdom to know how to use it.

Many people come to the altar weeping and crying out because they know they're not right with God. Then they go about their lives as they did before their encounter with Jesus. But that is not repentance. Repentance is a change of the mind that leads to a turn-around in direction. “Repentance is not when you cry; it's when you change.”

Just remember that “yesterday” is your history of successes. You’re still standing. You are still here. That is a testimony to the goodness and the faithfulness of God.

Carlos Rivera is getting Powerfully Practical today in the area of value-based scheduling. He says, “You will never unlock your potential until your priorities become habitual.” Whatever you think about and talk about will be magnified in your eyes, so be intentional about what you allow to become a priority.

In today's episode, Carlos Rivera raises the bar in the areas of Integrity, Generosity, and Discerning the Signs of the Times.  It's time to stop playing church, get right, and get ready!

Do not procrastinate. Your tomorrow is being decided right now. What you get done today will continue to be productive. Your current actions are seeds that are moving into your future. So let me ask you a question -- What are the seeds that you're constantly planting, believing that God is gonna bless you? 

“Do you feel like the heat’s being turned up? The challenges are getting more and more difficult must mean that you're getting closer to your blessing. Don’t give up. Dig your heels in, put your head down, and begin to push back. The enemy knows you are close to your victory, but he cannot prevent it!”
